Structural health monitoring technology can assess the status and integrity of structures in
real time by advanced sensors, evaluate the remaining life of structure, and make the …

A vast amount of research has been carried out towards the goal of quantifying changes
related to the fatigue damaging process in materials throughout the fatigue life. However, no …

The monitoring of fatigue crack propagation in steel and welded steel compact tension and T-
section girder test specimens, using an advanced acoustic emission system with accurate …

Acoustic emission is a technique to monitor defect formation and failures in structural
materials used in services or laboratories. Moreover, the method has been developed and …

The correlation of acoustic emission (AE) signal characteristics with crack growth behavior is
of paramount importance to structural health monitoring and prognosis for in-service steel …

In this study, acoustic emission (AE) analysis method was applied to monitor the damage
evolution process of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) under direct tensile test. Three …

We investigate the physics of laboratory earthquake precursors in a biaxial shear
configuration. We conduct laboratory experiments at room temperature and humidity in …

Sensitive structures, such as airframes, need careful inspection and maintenance to avoid
fatigue failures. These activities are expensive, discrete and imperfect, since catastrophic …

Parabolic trough concentrators are the most widely deployed type of solar thermal power
plant. The majority of parabolic trough plants operate up to 400° C. However, recent …

Anisotropy caused by bedding structures has a great effect on tensile properties and fracture
behaviours of coal. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is a powerful tool in understanding …
